WATCH: Bob Irving says the Bombers are in ‘pretty good shape’ regardless of free agency outcomes

With no signings announced prior to the end of the panel at 2 p.m., those around the table voiced some concern.

Wyman, sports editor for the Winnipeg Sun, said the lack of activity on the part of the home football team was a bit of a disappointment.

“They lost good players … and they haven’t really brought in anything to improve the positions,” Wyman said.

“The big names only stay on the board so long.”

“They say ‘if you are not getting better, your are getting worse’, and at least four teams in this league did not get better today … Winnipeg is one of them,” Currier said. “The balance of power has shifted — Edmonton and B.C. [were] the big winners on paper today.”

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers had 14 free agents, including Chungh, safety Taylor Loffler and receiver Weston Dressler. However, the Blue and Gold locked up several key players, like Adam Bighill, well in advance of Free Agency day.
